Question
An Ashkenazi hairdresser who is approached by a woman in mourning within thirty days, is she allowed to cut her hair?
Answer
Since according to the Shulchan Aruch, a woman in mourning within thirty days can be lenient regarding a haircut, and according to the Rema, one should be stringent in this matter. If an Ashkenazi woman in mourning comes to her, it is advisable not to cut her hair, but if a Sephardi woman comes, she may cut her hair even if the hairdresser is Ashkenazi.
